kind. Norfolk and its environments offer
many attractions to sight-seerS and pleas
ure seekers. The citizens are clever and
h0spitable, and the stranger within their
gates always meets with a reception of the
true Virginian order. Ocean View and
Virginia Beach are popular places of re-
sort during the heated term, thousands of
people tiocking thither every day. We
were the guest Of Mr.. E. l.. G.. Manning,

boy or a more popular man in all Norfolk
Being kinsman of ours, perhaps we
should not be so culogistic, but Ned is
not responsible for that, and therefore
should not be robbed of the credit that he
is justly entitled to. Through his kindness
and liberality our stay was made most
agreeable. We visited the seaside and
took plunge in the broad Atlantic, called
on many of the newspaper folks, made
other acquaintance and left with a more
favorable impression of Norfolk and Nor
folk people than ever. We may have more
to say about the Getty by the Sea- when
we get back from the mountains.

there are cooler, and sEadier, and more

a Brief Trip to the Country.

Through the kindness of a friend, our re-
porter had the pleasure Of taking a brief,
though pleasant drive into the country few
days since. First, we drove to the stockade,
where work has been commenced on the ex-
| tension of the Richmond & Danville Rail-
! road Ill the direction of Wilkesboro. Here,
while we found but few hundred yards of
grading done. we were reminded of the old
adage, that tall oaks from little aeorns
grow" and that everything has a beginning
We were Lot informed SIS to how many hands
are as yet empl>yed on this end OF the line.

srything could be gotten in proper readiness

think the r. &. ID. officials will never do
more than a week or two's work in order to

Let us wait patiently, believing call things
will work together for good" We have
been assured by Col. Andrews that the road
would be built, and that without delay. If
they fail in the promise no money will he
expended, as the resolutions drawn BY the
citizens meeting held in the opera house in
April are plainly to the effect that no bonds
will be issued until the road is finished and
the trains running thereon, ten miles from
the city. This we deem sufficient assurance
to the people that no money will be lost I'M
less the road is built as above stated Let
us have patience, believing that the Mocks-
vile and Wilkesboro extensions will be fin
ished per contract by the R. & b. Co. within
eighteen months.
Passing along the road as we drove on far
Their, beautiful crops of all kinds greeted our
eyes on every side-both of corn and tobacco.
The harvesting season is at the door for
both crops, and the farmer should rejoice
and be thankful. We have never seen crops
look more promising than they do this sea-
son.
In response to the encouraging outlook O.
good crops, we notice a number of our far
mer friends having cosy residences erected.
This looks like better times and more money

Formula for Making Compost.

Mr.. w. j. Ellis, an experienced and well
te-do farmer of Elbaville, Davie County,
writes the following advice to farmers for
making compost for wheat.
800 TBS Dissolved bone,
/. 80 " Ammonia,
200 " Potash,
100 /" Salt,
Rich earth enough to make out a ton.
The earth should be passed through d
coarse sieve to take out stones and anything
else that would not go through drill. This
compost does not need to lie in bulk, but can
be used the same day it is made, though it
does not hurt if made several weeks before
needed, provided it is kept under shelter.
DIRT from under old houses, and especially
old tobacco barns where sheep have been
using, is first rate. Ashes are also good.
Apply from 200 to 600 pounds per acre
with drill. This is what is known as the
"Feerman' formula.
